Using Jumpers W2, W3, and W4
You can use two types of data acquisition boards to communicate with the SCXI-1160. The
multifunction I/O (MIO) type boards are National Instruments boards that have both analog and
digital inputs and outputs. Boards include MIO-16, MIO-16X, MIO-16F-5, Lab Series (Lab-NB,
Lab-PC, Lab-PC+, and Lab-LC), and PC-LPM-16 boards. The DIO type boards are National
Instruments boards that have only digtal inputs and outputs. These boards include the DIO-24,
DIO-32F, and DIO-96.
All three jumpers have labels indicating the DIO and the MIO configurations. If you want to use
the SCXI-1160 with a DIO type board, place all three jumpers in the DIO position. This position
is the factory setting. If you want to use the SCXI-1160 with an MIO type board, place all three
jumpers in the MIO position. If nothing is cabled to the rear signal connector of the SCXI-1160,
the position of these jumpers is irrelevant.
Hardware Installation
You can install the SCXI-1160 in any available SCXI chassis. After you have made any
necessary changes and have verified and recorded the jumper settings on the form in
Appendix G, Customer Communication, you are ready to install the SCXI-1160. The following
are general installation instructions; consult the user manual or technical reference manual of
your SCXI chassis for specific instructions and warnings.
1. Turn off the computer that contains the data acquisition board or disconnect it from your
SCXI chassis.
2. Turn off the SCXI chassis. Do not insert the SCXI-1160 into a chassis that is turned on.
3. Insert the SCXI-1160 into the board guides. Gently guide the module into the back of the
slot until the connectors make good contact. If a cable assembly has already been installed in
the rear of the chassis, the module and cable assembly must be firmly engaged; however, do
not force the module into place.
4. Screw the front mounting panel of the SCXI-1160 to the top and bottom threaded strips of
your SCXI chassis.
